VIDEO: Mike Moustakas Crushes Monster Home Run to Give Brewers Lead Over Pirates
By Michael Luciano
Christian Yelich can be so dominant at times that it's easy to forget that the Milwaukee Brewers lineup is stacked with power. One of those mashers who flies under the radar is Mike Moustakas, who quietly recorded his 20th home run by launching a Francisco Liriano meatball into the right-center field stands to give the Brewers a late 4-2 lead against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Moose has been invaluable since being acquired from Kansas City last year, then re-signed this offseason. For a team with youth and inexperience in a lot of key areas, Moustakas' consistency and veteran presence have helped the Brewers become contenders in the central.
Oh, and he can still hit the ball 418 feet with regularity. That helps too.
Note to opposing pitchers: Just because you've dealt with Yelich doesn't mean you're out of the woods just yet against this team.
